Hong Kong and Black Undercover Ayanokoji's Handbook of Tool Man

Osamu Dazai's idea is that what comes out is what comes out.

I received a custom-made black suit that afternoon. The sleeves are designed to be longer than normal, which is used to cover the little finger that has been cut off or is about to be cut off.Both the industry and the general public already have such a perception.The residence has also been transferred to an apartment building in a slightly better living area. Next door to me is Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

I was opening the door to enter the house when I saw him coming up from the stairs and passing by me.He is still wearing the black windbreaker in Hong Kong Heili, but he has lost a lot of hostility.At the same time, he didn't recognize who I was, but when I saw him, he noticed my gaze and looked back at me, nodded slightly, looking like a peaceful young man.

Because of his good attitude, I plan to have a chat with him, maybe we can become friends?

With this idea of ​​giving it a try, I turned my gaze to the book in his hand.

The red ribbon of the bookmark is exposed, and about a quarter of the content can be seen.

"Are you reading Raymond Chandler too?"

Akutagawa tilted his head to show that he didn't know what I was talking about, so I pointed to the book in his hand.

Akutagawa flipped through the book, saw the small author's name under the title, and said simply: "I read books, never the author."

"Detective Marlowe is the most successful character written by Raymond. In the United States in the 90s, Marlowe was once voted the best male detective, and his popularity surpassed that of Sherlock Holmes written by Conan Doyle."

"Really? It's the first time I know Marlowe, so I think it's all right."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke felt a little novel about this extra-book knowledge point.

As far as I know, Ryunosuke Akutagawa is a subordinate brought by Osamu Dazai from the slums, and he is still active as a student of Osamu Dazai. stubborn youth.If he was interested in Marlowe—

"Marlowe first appeared in Redmond's first published novel, and then there was a series of novels featuring Marlowe as a detective. You can read it later. My first big book was actually , although it is Redmond’s last novel and the content of the article is not as good as before, but I am interested in him because of a sentence Marlowe said.”

I looked at Akutagawa's dull red pupils, which contained the faintest and most desolate residual red in the twilight.

"What did you say?" Akutagawa asked.

"'If I'm not tough, I can't live. If I'm not refined, I don't deserve to live'." "I held the doorknob and felt that this sentence was chosen too deliberately, so I added, "It's very inexplicable..."

However, Akutagawa said bluntly: "No, I also think this sentence is good. Look for it next time."

"If you like books, let's continue the chat next time." I think the atmosphere of our chat is good, but there is no need to finish all the conversations, and if we go to Osamu Dazai's office the next day, we will inevitably meet again.I don't want us to have nothing to talk about then.

"Ah."

Until I closed the door, I could still feel Akutagawa Ryunosuke's gaze.

When I went out the next day, I saw a cloth bag hanging from the doorknob, which contained several brand-new books.

According to yesterday's situation, it should be given by Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

I feel that I seem to have succeeded in gaining the favor of Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

I put the book on the empty bookshelf in my house, feeling strange and inexplicable.

This is the first time I have received a gift from someone since I was born.

Just as I was about to go to work, I happened to meet Akutagawa at the elevator entrance who was also waiting to go downstairs. He glanced at me, nodded, said nothing, and turned his head to continue looking at the numbers on the display screen.

I feel like this is a second chance to gain favorability.

So, I said sincerely: "Thank you for the book, I will read it carefully."

As soon as the voice fell, the elevator door opened in response.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke strode into the elevator room, faced me, and said flatly: "You're welcome, just don't forget to return me."

So those few books were not the gift I imagined...

I stopped when I stepped into the elevator room, but finally walked in. In the closed space, I lost the mood to speak.The two of them stared at the constantly changing numbers on the display screen, without saying a word the whole time.

In fact, I am also thinking about a serious question.

After everything is over and I am free, I will move to an uninhabited island in the future, right?

The author has something to say: Ayanokōji who wants to stop losses immediately when he encounters something he is not good at.
